Twelve Hours Later… (Lunch & Dinner 3.21.11)

I was totally wrong when I was guessing (hoping) that our task of getting the new car would not take all day. We were gone for 12 hours - good thing we brought both Will and Bruce with us!

Everything that could have slowed us down today did – the big one was a snowstorm as we drove out this morning and then a bunch of small stuff after that. In the end we did what we had to do and we are all set with our new ride so I guess it was worth the very long day. I am hoping I have the energy I need to stay up and do work now. I did some in the car but Will was coughing and sneezing and requiring a lot of attention so I really couldn’t focus well. We ate both lunch and dinner out since the day was out of our control. I plan to get us back on track tomorrow with good food and appropriate sleep! I’m putting today behind me and trying not to fret over missing my very valuable work time and hoping I don’t catch what Will has!

We ate lunch at Friendly’s because it was close and easy for us with a tired and sick two-year old. I haven’t been to a Friendly’s in years and I was actually pretty impressed. You could order healthy for both kids and adults if you wanted to. I went with a crispy chicken wrap which wasn’t the healthiest but it sure tasted good at the time. In the car (sorry no pictures) I had a nonfat latte, some honey roasted peanuts, an apple and Kashi crackers. For dinner we grabbed Thai food. I got pad thai again because I love it and we have not had a good Thai place to go to in so long. Now that we have a quality spot to go to close by and my craving for pad thai has been fulfilled I will start getting the healthier dishes with veggies in them. Everything will get back to normal tomorrow – up to Boston for class in the morning, stopping at the grocery store for dinner items on the way back home then work, cook, eat, sleep. I’ll be happy when my head hits that pillow tomorrow — it seems so far away right now!
